This is the town where there have been so many tragic suicides amongst young people. Depression has been linked to EM exposure, most recently in an article quoting Roger Coghill, a scientist involved with SAGE, an advisory body to the government. However, that article failed to point out Bridgend’s historic first as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

INTERNET history is on the verge of being made in Bridgend.
The council will be the first in England and Wales to establish a wireless “WiFi” network in the town centre where people will be able to access the internet, regardless of which service-provider they use.
Most wireless “hot spots” – locations where laptop users can access the internet – have been operated by individual companies. Bridgend’s initiative means the town has the potential to become Britain’s biggest open-plan office by offering the first multi-service provider network.
